Sites are within three miles, wire, 1/2 mile crow flight. - We have Meridian phones for which we can get 9600 baud RS-232 interfaces. DOES ANYBODY know if with handshaking and async over digitized phone line, these data phone options WORK SUCCESSFULLY for this purpose? - We have access to a four wire metallic circuit, not conditioned. Is there an economical, recent or old, technology four wire modem YOU USE to support 9600 baud SLIP ? - We have some available Telebit modems, no two alike and NO T2500. I don't think any are the newer of V32/V42, which ever that is. The last neighbor we knew using these with a 200 mile dialup phone path spent lots of time restarting the circuit. Is there a good way to use these locally over an analog delivered voice grade phone line ? - How would YOU rate from YOUR PERSONAL experience these options, for cost effectiveness and ease ( idiot-proof-ness ) of installation ? - Remember in answering these questions, the right answer leads to the most efficient use of tax dollars.
